Avanan Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Vice President Information Technology at Makeready4.5I use Avanan for spam, phishing prevention, and email security, valuing its integration with Microsoft 365 and its intuitive UI. While powerful, it lacks email backup features covered by Barracuda, which feels less integrated compared to Avanan's unified dashboard.
Managing Director at Cyber Active4.0I use Avanan to enhance Microsoft Outlook email security. It's easy to install and features strong AI, but its interface and user experience need improvement. While Microsoft catches 85% of threats, Avanan impressively catches 99.7%.
Technical Head at Quoinx Technologies private Limited4.5My company uses Avanan for advanced email filtering to protect against malware and malicious emails. Customers appreciate its effectiveness, particularly for email attachments. Improvement areas include expanding DLP integrations. Previously, our customers used a Microsoft tool but faced phishing issues.
Chief Information Security Officer at a media company with 201-500 employees5.0Avanan significantly improved our cloud email security, detecting sophisticated threats Microsoft missed. It drastically reduced user clicks on malicious links, streamlined admin, and scaled perfectly. Its excellent support makes it a 10/10 solution.
Business Development Manager / Business consultant at DRC Systems4.5After a year, I find this affordable, cloud-based email security effective against phishing and malware, reducing risks. It's easy to use, but occasionally flags legitimate emails. Improved scanning speed and analytics would be beneficial.
Business Development Manager at DRC Systems India Pvt. Ltd5.0I found this email security tool very effective, easy to use, and cost-efficient for real-time protection against threats like phishing and malware. It significantly reduces IT risks. Minor AI logic improvements would make it even better.
Software Engineer at Doddle4.5I found Avanan excellent for secure email sharing and robust threat detection, virtually eliminating phishing and malware. Setup was easy, and ROI positive. While email querying can be slow, I highly recommend its overall effectiveness and strong protection.
Planning Analyst at Ovato4.5I found Avanan Cloud Email Security highly effective for email protection, blocking threats, and enhancing data security. It's stable, scalable, and offers positive ROI. Despite familiarization time for new teams, I recommend it for its robust performance.
